Back To Briar Hollow

Rachel Hale left Briar Hollow chasing something bigger. Years later, she's back - divorced, determined, and fighting to save her late mother's bookstore from becoming another small?town memory.The problem? Thomas Sebastian Hale.Her first love. Her biggest heartbreak. The man who still looks at her like she's his.Now they're forced into each other's orbit - town events, family dinners, late nights at Hollow Pages - and the chemistry between them isn't nostalgic.Thomas isn't interested in being her almost again. He wants all of her - the sharp edges, the stubborn independence, the woman she's become. And in a town where privacy doesn't exist and history lingers on every corner, resisting him becomes impossible.But falling for him again means risking more than her heart. It means staying.And this time, Thomas has no intention of letting her walk away.
